[NU Sports] TV and sports

[Dennis W. Brandt]

All this is possible now with fiber optics - if you're willing to pay for it and the cable company thinks there is a profit in it.

  I'll ask this as a basic cable guy - is it anticipated that there will be a point when you have one 'wire' going into your home, providing very high-speed internet ?  And will we also be able to download this week's episode of 'House' (or whatever) ?  And/or stream the NU/Iowa game, to be watched in real-time, or sent to our digital video recorder ?  I guess I'm asking - do the experts believe we will ever reach a point where we don't need the cable company to bundle programming to our homes ?  Or does HD programming require too much bandwidth ?  And does it have to be a coaxial connection ?  Can satellite provide the bandwidth ?
